No, not the first, there needs to be something solely animatronics.
I think the 3rd could be a mixture but would need some sort of screen involvement to make it interactive. I was thinking of a sped up, not so smooth omni mover ride that gives you the feeling of a safari.
I think screens have their place, but no, I wouldn’t want to see them on every ride.
I think it would be easy for Universal to figure out how to do a SLOP style ride on a larger scale for Pokemon with animatronics and the same curved screen practical set integration see in the firework warehouse scene. and the aforementioned screen techniques would be used through the entire ride since there would be more space to work with than what USH had for SLOP.

This is becoming a catch-all thread again. If it keeps circling back to this - we may have to lock it. Please keep this in mind when posting in the thread.
Haven't been keeping up with this as much, but I assume that Kidzone Pizza co will be rethemed to either SpongeBob or Dreamworks?Wow< Blue Man is Back. with a Pizza Shop....Bleue Cheese toppings....
Just so we can keep things clear and there's no misunderstanding, are general park updates the things we want to avoid unless they're tied to some larger point one of us wants to make about the park?

Sorry, the Pokemon discussion came from me answering directly what I thought of the park after a recent visit: it needs something, it feels a bit old news. It’s ok, even good, to have older attractions that you feel a nostalgic pull towards, but the whole park felt quite out of touch with 2024. It needs a new big pull to make it feel up to date, cared for. It feels a bit like ‘meh, this is the old park, we’ve got something shiny new coming elsewhere to show what we can do.’ I still love the park, but it’s missing something it once had, I didn’t feel the atmosphere it once had. It felt like a bit like a fashion trend you once loved, but it gets lost back in the back of the cupboard and when you pull it back out you think, ‘that just doesn’t look the same as it once did, even though it hasn’t actually changed!’

Universal Orlando Update: Rip Ride Rockit Rumors, Epic Universe News, & CityWalk Construction
Epic Universe's opening time frame news, rumors that Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is closing as soon as next year, new attractions at Universal Studios Florida, plus Zelda & Pokemon rumors

With the possibility that the Springfield replacement won't be happening until 2030, it looks increasingly unlikely that the park will see a new dark ride any time before then.
Which doesn't thrill me.
Priorties change. Depending on how well EU does reception and capacity wise in its maiden voyage, maybe Pokemon can be moved up to 2028.Universal Orlando Update: Rip Ride Rockit Rumors, Epic Universe News, & CityWalk Construction

2026: Rockit Replacement

2027-28: Ghostbusters
2029-30: Pokemon
Will be interesting to see how Epic Universe's success impacts the timeline. While I'm more than positive that EU will have a positive impact throughout the resort, there's so many variables (Covid/Inflation) that can impact things.
It's known that people's vacations aren't getting longer, so an additional park in Orlando is going to drive massive competition between all Orlando parks. If USF sees any form of significant attendance decline, I'd imagine those projects will be fast tracked.

That seems like a decent timeline for USF, and I’m sure there will be little projects here and there, too.
I don't mind it, but I just want a complete overhaul of the park entrance to be a part of this timeline at some point. Not the best first/last impression in Orlando lol

While we have no details, Pokémon will surely be a land possibly bigger than Diagon Alley, so it’s no small addition coming to the park in the next 5-6 years.
